2010 TS3 Sim Tours - The "List"

[ANILTJE]

Less power and less fh or bh you will feel that from the baseline.

[Chederer]

but that 87 bh or fh which ever you choose will be a no go zone...then you can expect the ball to come to the weaker side---

Right I played a few matches in wt with my G.House character and met Adimu and Moralspain. Adimu was using the same character as me but strangely I felt like he was outhitting me all the time but that is really a compliment to his excellent timing and risking as he was hitting with great force off his weaker forehand side too. I managed to hang tough and creep through in a 3rd set tiebreak 3-4 4-2 10-7.

Moralspain was using Stixx in our wt match and I felt a little cheap in that match to be honest..like I was simply overpowering his character. That said, I didn't think he did a great job of exploiting my weak forehand as he mostly served to my 90 backhand instead. I won that 3-1 3-1 but thought the 2nd set was much closer than the first.

I also played a 1 set 6 game match against jacagest who was using the same character as me, G. House. This was really great fun and felt like a real match as there was momentum shifts and just a nice touch of unpredictabilty to each game. This one felt nicely tactical too as it came down to who could make those big risk shots at the key moments. Luckily I claimed a 7-6(5) win.

I like this G.House character a lot but I'll probably experiment with the others to see which one suits me the best

[Chederer]

has anyone tried n. johnson AKA andy murray? i think hes one of the best baseliners to choose from on the list.

[VillaJ100]

i would use lightman but the lowish serve stat worries me

[Chederer]

dude.....72 serve is pretty sweet actually---if you havent tried him out...you should do it and post the results...im very interested to see how you do

[Coolhand Texas]

I was wondering, do any of these characters play like a federer?

[Cro Morgan]

J. Lopez is a watered-down version of Federer.

[Chederer]

closest one would probably be sixx or bucci or even lightman

[Chederer]

yep i totally missed that one

Lopez has the same strengths and weaknesses as the in-game Federer, however his strengths are not as strong; his weaknesses, slightly weaker.

its good for baseline but no much for SV, so much relies on mixing up the serve and when stamina is low it'l be a bit of a hinderance i think, be a nightmare to get a good 1st serve in, and the top guys return so well, and the courts are slowish (lol i sound like taylor dent)

With Lopez I'm missing a load of first serves, I don't know if is because I'm pushing for pace that isn't there but it is putting me in a lot of trouble.

just try it---i promise you 72 serve is more than enough

[Amazing Matheja]

Completely agree with Ched...
Even with 55 on serve i was able to serve quite well (in my opinion...)
It just changes the timing for the direction...
My "tip" is i look the ball only...
With 55 i start putting direction slightly after the ball left the hand...
With 75 almost before the ball left the hand...
Then i release and let go the serve as soon as the ball start to go down...
It works pretty well for me! I mix S&V a lot and i found i can often be almost on the lines...(double trigg all the time...)Only when stamina is down i only use 1 trigg to serve...
